Optimized for on the go: Aptar launches UNO 38mm sports closure 

10 Oct 2018 --- Aptar’s new sport cap called UNO 38mm is a one-piece closure made of PP designed to suit the requirements and performance of the flip-top design and to provide the option of translucent or opaque colors. UNO provides one-hand opening and closing and is available in two 38mm neck finishes: 3-lead and 2-lead thread starts.

The combination of three factors drove the development of this larger, wide mouth neck finish:

• The continuous growth of aseptically processed, shelf-stable beverages such as juices, drinkable dairy, ready-to-drink coffees and teas and preservative free drinks and water.
• The dynamic growth of on-the-go beverage consumption in single-serve packaging formats.
• The increasing consumer demand for convenience, hygiene, resealablity and superior hydration.

To address these customer and consumer needs, Aptar has developed UNO, a liner-less flip top, plug-seal sport closure for PET bottles, based on the success and market acceptance of the Original sport closure family, offering a visible tamper evident and comfortable drinking spout.

UNO 38mm is suitable for H2O2 sterilization for juice and dairy beverages, using the following aseptic equipment suppliers: Krones, Serac, KHS and GEA.

UMO also fits Claranor Puls’ Full Cap sterilization with pulsed light.
